Center 1 (19052), United States of America, McLean, VirginiaSenior Associate , Data Science - Applied Generative AI for Calls and DocumentsData is at the center of everything we do. As a startup, we disrupted the credit card industry by individually personalizing every credit card offer using statistical modeling and the relational database, cutting edge technology in 1988! Fast-forward a few years, and this little innovation and our passion for data has skyrocketed us to a Fortune 200 company and a leader in the world of data-driven decision-making.As a Data Scientist at Capital One, you’ll be part of a team that’s leading the next wave of disruption at a whole new scale, using the latest in computing and machine learning technologies and operating across billions of customer records to unlock the big opportunities that help everyday people save money, time and agony in their financial lives.Team Description:The Servicing Intelligence data science team leverages deep learning model architectures to help our internal customers use unstructured, multi-modal data sources — text, image, and audio data. We partner with product, tech, and business teams to deliver solutions spanning from using generative AI to conduct information extraction on millions of document images to analyzing call transcripts to identify customer pain points. You will be the driving force to experiment, innovate, and create next generation experiences powered by the latest emerging generative AI technologies.Role Description:In this role, you will:
Harness the power of transformer model architectures to automatically identify emerging customer pain points in millions of call transcripts.
Fine-tune large language models (LLMs) and large multi-modal models (LMMs) for extractive and abstractive tasks to search for complex evidence statements in unstructured, multi-page, documents images.
Manage large scale data annotation projects by guiding frontline agents to curate high quality datasets, delivering model improvements by proposing, managing, and monitoring improvements to data collection processes.
Work on a team of data scientists to build practical machine learning solutions through all phases of development, including designing, training, evaluating, and monitoring models.
Communicate frequently with business stakeholders, including everything from brainstorming verbiage to include in a prompt engineering experiment to ascertaining which model evaluation metric best aligns data science outputs with business objectives.
Collaborate with machine learning engineers to develop, deploy, troubleshoot, optimize, and maintain model pipelines with activities spanning from building reusable Kubeflow components for LLM fine-tuning to conversing about the cost impacts of model architecture choices.
Leverage a broad stack of technologies including Pytorch, Hugging Face, LangChain, LLaMA-Factory, GitHub, AWS and more, to automate workflows using huge volumes of text audio, and vision data
The Ideal Candidate is:
Creative. You thrive on bringing definition to big, undefined problems. You love asking questions and pushing hard to find answers. You’re not afraid to share a new idea.
Innovative. You continually research and evaluate emerging technologies. You stay current on published state-of-the-art methods, technologies, and applications and seek out opportunities to apply them.
Technical. You’re comfortable with open-source languages and are passionate about developing further. You have hands-on experience developing data science solutions using open-source tools and cloud computing platforms.
Statistically-minded. You’ve built models, validated them, and backtested them. You know how to interpret a confusion matrix or a ROC curve.
Passionate about the applied use of data science - when you see a new generative model take the top spot on a HuggingFace model leaderboard, you are just as excited about how it can improve a business process as you are about the underlying technical innovations.
You have an ownership mindset for all upstream and downstream impacts to model pipelines. You like to question what imperfections exist in a model benchmark, taking self-initiative to fix data quality issues in evaluation data.
